At 10:30 p.m., it's time for dinner, and Gao Cheng finally has the chance to supplement sugar. The happiest time is at this time. Even though he has rarely used the one minute detective mode, the habit of supplementing sugar continues.
Xiao AI stealthily kicks Gao Cheng, who is eating sweets at the table: "don't go too far..."
"Yes."
Gao Cheng gulps away the sweet soup.
Russian dinner is not very used to eating, so it is very comfortable to eat a few dishes, but you can't ask too much when you go out.
"It's already 11 o'clock..." Xiao AI sat and looked at the time.
The time for desserts passed quickly. It was not so much dinner as supper. Xiao AI hardly ate it. He just tasted a few mouthfuls and drank some soup. He didn't touch the sweets, and they all came to Gao Cheng's mouth.
"Yes," said Gao Cheng, burping and looking at the empty seat on the opposite side, "the God has never been to the restaurant..."
"Said to eat in the room," Baotian guanger said with a smile, "but it must be drunk and fell asleep!"
"Because of that, he has been absent from the regular meeting of Quintet for several times. Recently, he has actually become a Quartet..."
Dog feed Gao Zhi several discussion, plump meiyuanxun seems to God loyalty is not cold: "because of that, his wife had enough to divorce."
"Ha ha, Mr. Meiyuan, if the divine teacher hears us, he will write a column about us again, won't he?"
"He dares!" Mei Yuan Xun patted the table and said, "I've had enough of it. I said that my winning works are plagiarized!"
"Forget it, forget it, Miss Meiyuan," you Yuelai said with a smile, "you've never had a new work to be said that way. Novelists rely on their works, don't they?"
Meiyuanxun bit his teeth and sat back, but he pointed his gun at the mask man beside youyuelaimeng.
"Hello, miss youyue, this magician named Rose, why do you have to wear a mask when you eat? It's disgusting... "
"This mask..." the mask man chuckled, holding a high foot wine glass, "now it's the same as my face..."
The atmosphere of the scene was silent. Except for the dream of youyuelai, which seemed to be well-established, the other candidates all looked different.
Gao Cheng drinks tea in silence.
As an invited guest, it's better to keep a low profile and don't meddle in superfluous affairs.
Housekeeper Tian Dai helped to add tea, suddenly saw the maid Tongjiang want to push the dining car back, worried brow, plate is also in the car..
"What's the matter? Tongjiang, didn't the God teacher eat
"Well," Tongjiang thought bitterly, "I called him, but no one responded. If the God teacher falls asleep, he will lose his temper when he is awakened, so..."
Tongjiang wants to lower his head.
Xiaohu male god Zhongzhi has molested her once after getting drunk. Everyone looks at her and scoffs at the master like God.
This kind of person seems to be naturally disliked.
"Sleep?" Gao Cheng eyebrows jump, "this time he really will sleep?"
"What's so strange," he said, "that guy drank a lot of wine before..."
Gaocheng ignored Baotian guanger, stood up and left the table, saying: "to be on the safe side, I'd better go to see him first. Housekeeper Tian, please take the key."
"OK, ok..."
The housekeeper left in a hurry. Mei Yuanxun also changed his face: "Hello, detective Chenghu, are you too sensitive? Can that guy have an accident?"
"Maybe..."
Gao Cheng thought a lot, including the signs of coming to Lucia Pavilion.
It would be better if he only made a fuss. Once something happens, it is likely to cause a series of incidents and add a lot of trouble.
Zhongzhi's room is just above the dining room. Gao Cheng follows the maid Tong Jiang Xiangzi to the door. Before the housekeeper brings the key, he finds that the door is not locked, and he still smells blood.
Gao Cheng opened the door slightly.
Thunder cut through the darkness. A headless corpse was sitting on the armchair with his back to his side. His eyes were wide open and his head fell on his legs. He looked straight at the door. His dark red blood was flowing all over the floor.
"Don't come here!"
Gao Cheng seriously stopped the crowd and quickly swept the whole room.
The cruel scene of the murder, like the murderer in a demonstration, simply and directly showed the body in front of everyone. The face of Mr. Baotian who came from behind suddenly turned pale. He couldn't help retching. He even couldn't stand under strong fear.
"How could that be? How could the God teacher... "
"From the bleeding point of view, it should be that someone cut off the head after death. The cause of death is probably blunt blow on the back of the head..."
When Gao Cheng entered the scene, he first looked at a collapsed head in the back of his head, and then looked at the body leaning against the back of his chair.
There is a Lucia figure in the body's arms, just the figure with the double bass in the reception room
"Ivan of the bass?"
The masked man went directly to Gao Cheng. He was not surprised at the appearance of the corpse. On the contrary, he was very interested in the doll. Several people outside were even more restless when they heard the words, and they turned their eyes to Gao Cheng at the scene of the inspection.
Anyway, Gao Chengdu is an expert in this field.
"Let's go to the reception room first," Gao Cheng said after seeing the masked man frowning and following the procedure, "before the police come, don't enter here at will..."
"Well, detective Chenghu," the lawyer said hesitantly, "can you put Ivan back in the reception room first... Anyway, this doll is the clue arranged by the teacher in the mountain. It's better to put it back in its original place..."
Before Gao Cheng spoke, the frightened Baotian guanger said in fear: "Mr. lawyer, this one has been put together with the corpse. Do you really want to take it back?"
"Will the game go on?" "And the teacher in Yamauchi also said that no matter what happens in this inheritance competition, it will last until the teacher's birthday, that is, the zero point five days later..."
Baotian guanger and several other candidates immediately stopped talking and quietly organized a group to the reception room of the bell tower.
After housekeeper Tian locks the God's room, Gao Cheng takes Xiao AI with him. He finds that it's not just Ivan the double bass in the reception room, but the other four even don't know what to take away. After youtou Daisuke puts Ivan back in place, he looks very strange.
Baotian guanger's face became more and more restless when he was sitting or standing. Only high school student dog feed Gao Zhi and beautiful illustrator you Yue can't see any expression in his dream.
"Ladies and gentlemen..."
Tian Dai's housekeeper and maid Tong Jiang push black tea into the reception room and give them cups of tea.
"Have some Russian black tea. It's more or less calmer..."
"How can it be calm?"
Meiyuanxun shivered and lit a cigarette. He was not very happy, but he still took a cup of black tea to drink.
"Why did the prisoner do that? After killing people, they even cut off their heads... "
"Maybe it's just a technique of comparison," said Gao Zhi, holding his arm. "At the morning meeting of the orchestra, he cut off his head in the order from the front to the back. The previous Lucia figures were arranged from low to high, and Ivan was the shortest of the five figures..."
"Difficult, is the God teacher killed according to the meaning of the poem?"
"Wait... Wait!" "According to the order from the past to the future... Isn't the second shortest Emile, who is the same cellist as me? I don't know... "
"You're still so timid, Mr. Baotian," you Yue said with a smile. "It's just the teacher of the gods who was killed. It's like serial killing..."
"The murder of Lucia dolls," said Goushi Gaozhi, interrupting youyue's dream with an unnatural sweat on his face. "In this early masterpiece of the teacher in shannei, five people were compared to Lucia dolls and killed one after another. No one survived except the real murderer 'commander'. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
The atmosphere of terror spread in the reception room all of a sudden. Because of his fear, he couldn't control his facial expression. He said in a trembling voice like crying and laughing, "I just need money, but I don't want to lose my life. Do I have to continue to compete?"
"When, of course," Mei Yuanxun said calmly, "who will give up because of this kind of thing? You can abstain... "
"Of course I won't either." After wiping his forehead with sweat, he could only look at Gao Cheng.
I've heard that many clients of Gao Cheng have a miserable ending when they encounter a case. I don't know if it's true. It's frightening.
"Well," the masked man, who always looked like a transparent man, suddenly stood up with a light smile, "I'll go to have a rest first. After all, I have to conserve my energy for tomorrow's reasoning competition. I wish you good luck. Quartet members, you'd better lock your door and don't open it casually..."
"What do you... Mean?"
Mei Yuan Xun watched the masked man leave with a few worries, and they began to doubt each other.
In the villa in the middle of the lake, which is naturally isolated from the outside world, the possibility that the murderer is an outsider is very small, maybe among the people present, or even one of the remaining four candidates.
Before returning to his room for a rest, Gao Cheng checked the condition of the key lock rack in the atrium again, and carefully checked the condition of his room. Finally, he found a magic mirror behind a painting to see the situation of the empty room next door.
"What's the matter?" Xiao AI asked.
"There is something wrong with this villa..."
Gao Cheng covers the mirror with his painting again. At the same time, he feels sleepy and shocked.
He has always been quite aware of his own body. It is likely that he was drugged.
Gao Cheng thinks of guanger Baotian on the other side.
The client may become the second victim. Whether this inference is correct or not, it may be dangerous
"Xiao AI, find Mr. Baotian..."
